Hello friends,
i watched the first two episodes today. And i just wanted to share my views on second episode.
I really like the power exploration. But they are going too fast with veer when it comes to powers and I fear that has the potential to make him overpowered and that will ruin things if it is not balanced on the other end. They have already explored many powers with him.
But I also must mention the powers they explored were cool. Especially the one where he infiltrated ishaβs dreams without even meeting her. That one was my fav.
One other good thing I liked was when both armaan and veer performed memory erase. Veer drinks human blood and hence is more powerful. And one could see the difference. When armaan used it he was very crude not good enough at all and mot at all believable. At first I thought what the hell was that. But then they showed veer do the same and he was very smooth and he did at large scale. I really like that difference. Speaks of world building details.
I like the charcters of mahak the yogini, chery and veer and armaan so far. Seems good enough build up and direct confrontations at necessary points. Sidhi baat no bakwas.
Most importantly i feared cherry would turn out to be pretty face popular girl but seeing that she is waitressing and stuff, it gives more dimension to her character rather than just face.
Mahak is also very natural. She is doing really good job at not stealing the focus but staying in main frame to give us enough. I absolutely love her.
Armaan admitted that he made a mistake in case of kavya and he shouldn't have done what he did - tells me in subtle way that may be he was in the wrong before and then something happened between the three of them and that changed both veer and arman. i think veer doesnt care for isha he just wants to use her to cause pain to armaan. Well he said so as well and also because in last episode in the end he almost rushed to save kavyas painting and armaan had to stop him. Tells me that armaan still cares for his brother and mostly feels guilty of whatever he did. All of these are ofcourse conjectures and I could be way off. π
They seem to have some world building stuff except the fact bhediya is basically and for all practical purposes a vampire π the history of the town, the hidden cave, shyam tulsi, good beginning, the effects of solar eclipse. They are walking the fine line between giving information but not info dumping.
They are getting a lot of things out in the open to setup the stage I believe which is good for now but that also sets potential fear that they will then slow down and butcher things. depends on what they have in store in terms of plotting.
Isha is pitfall rightnow. If they dont give her more agency soon and handle her timid little girl nature she is gonna be huge problem. I dont like her much right now, she feels tiring. I generally never like itv leading ladies
They are pushing armaan isha angle too fast and too hard and that makes me think its gonna fall out soon. Of course I could be wrong also.
Much less fillers compared to other itv shows.
Some great scene locations, I especially love mountains and whenever they show it i go craaazy.
As for copy pasting from TVD, seems like it but i didn't stick with IT for more than some 3-4 episodes, so no clue and dont care either
So far it seems potentially good, only time will tell whether itv delivers its promises or not π
